The dragon is alive with energy and full of vitality. Flying to the highest heavens and diving into the deepest oceans, breathing the fire of awareness that burns away all illusion. The dragon lives in the present tense at all times and displays through its presence compassionate action and heartfelt understanding. In Chinese mythology, we humans are the descendants of the dragon.

To be a Dragon -

• Breathe deep and full

• Love all, serve all, cherish the earth

• Know that gratitude and generosity are two sides of the same coin

• Accept what is because that 's what is

• No story, only love

• Welcome to now

• What's more important? To be right or to love?

• It only gets better

• Please, thank you and a smile will take you far

• Do anonymous random acts of kindness

• How you do what you do is more important than what you do

• ...... and we begin now!
